Pre-occupational therapy

Help those impacted by injuries, illnesses or disabilities to participate in the “occupations” of daily life—from working to eating to engaging in school activities and social situations. Occupational therapists fuse their scientific expertise and compassionate spirit to support patients of all ages in the process of developing or recovering skills, gaining independence, and improving quality of life.
